WSTE/Teleisla will relaunch as Univision Puerto Rico, marking Univision's return to Puerto Rico. They have been airing Univision programming since January, after WLII dropped its remaining Univision programming to become an independent station. 
 

WLII, the outgoing Univision affiliate was split from what is now TelevisaUnivision while they kept WSTE. Since then WLII has readopted the TeleOnce branding and started gradually dropping Univision programming and airing original programming based in PR. Before WLII completely dropped Univision programming, the only programming from Univision in weekday was telenovelas. WLII also had UniMas on a subchannel before they dropped it in January.

To give context on WLII's newfound independence, apparently it wasn't by choice as much as negligence. Its parent company Liberman Media Group is involve in a lawsuit against its former COO alleging him of not following due diligence in renewing its affiliation with Univision last year. Its alleged malpractice could have cost the station significant ad revenue, potentially harming future local productions.
